Just saw a promo for Weekend Weather Center. Seems WC will be on the weekend now.

Will Satellite viewers see the LOCAL squeezebar? I have cable, but I was just wondering.

I might be the only one, but I think that thing looks so ugly. The dark colors are so depressing.

On the Satellite version,(the squeezeback forecast)  the data forecast for Charleston said 61 and Partly Cloudy, and the website says it will rain? Why are they not agreeing?

Satellite subscribers and Im assuming XL/4000/Jr viewers see the national one that was seen during the beta test

Outdated data maybe? I saw a similar thing last week where during the LF on the text part it was saying 50's and rain for Monday and Tuesday, but on the 7 day, it said 40's and rain for Monday and 40's and Cloudy for Tuesday. I don't remember the exact temps forecasted, but it was something like that.

That makes sense, considering they already see the national LDL.  It's a shame, though.

I like the national LDL WAY better in the thread you posted about a week ago. :yes: This one just looks...bleh. :thumbdown:

According to my schedule, PM Edition is still going to air from 4-5pm on weekends and that's it. Isn't that kinda silly? :blink:

Also, I still don't know why they picked Sunday night to be the all live programming night.

I don't get why they chose Sunday night to return to live programming, either.  :dunno:

Sunday nights, at least when I worked in TV news, had the highest ratings of the week probably because people were preparing for the week ahead.  I would guess that's why they would have live programming.  Probably gives the image as to having more live content than they actually do.

You are correct.  Usually Sunday's and Monday's have the highest ratings.

Kelly Cass and Kim Cunningham are a GREAT team!  Just thought I'd say that.

I really like that chime at the very beginning of the squeezebar. Glad to hear TWC still uses the 4-note chime.
